Missha All Around Safe Block Mild Essence Sun Milk SPF 50 Alcohol Gives It That Quick Absorbing Texture

I purchased this item and I receive a small commission if you shop using the links in this post.

Missha All Around Safe Block Mild Essence Sun Milk SPF 50 PA+++ ($14) is an affordable SPF option from Korea that will totally change the way you feel about applying sunscreen. I think we can all agree that SPF can sometimes be a chore since many formulas are very thick, greasy, and need adequate time to set before any other skincare or makeup is applied on top of them.

Many, many years ago I migrated towards Japanese sunscreen since I loved the quick to absorb gel textures. I realize most days I’m raving how great Japanese sunscreens are but I forget how many fantastic Korean ones are around as well.

One of those being Missha All Around Safe Block Mild Essence Sun Milk SPF 50 but it does have one major downfall.

Tarte Sea the Change Vault & Love, Trust & Fairy Dust Vault

Makeup vaults are no longer reserved for the Holidays! Tarte has been releasing many of their seasonal collections lately as individual items or in massive vaults that contain the entire collection. They’ve been doing this for about three seasons now and apparently it’s a great success as most people seem to opt in for the vault purchase. Either you love these massive vaults or you’re mentally cringing where to store such a large piece of makeup.

I’m actually past the stage in my makeup life where I feel compelled to buy every single piece of a collection. I’ve been there, for many years, but nowadays I tend to buy items I think I’ll like and use.

But that doesn’t mean I’m not tempted by vaults like the Tarte Love, Trust & Fairy Dust Vault ($110 LE) which includes:

Love, Trust & Fairy Dust Eye & Cheek Palette
Fairy Brush Set
Fairy Blush
Lights, Camera, Lashes 4-in-1 Mascara
Fairy Dust

I haven’t tried them yet but the Tarte H2O Lipgloss also comes in a complete vault which has all 14 full-size shades which purchased individually would set you back $266 but within the vault are $199 in the Tarte #Seathechange Vault. Do I need $200 worth of lipgloss?! Probably not but there’s little bit of a lemming in the back of my mind that really wants this! Don’t worry my logical side is winning out here and telling me NO!

What do you think?

Are you compelled to purchase makeup vaults?

Or are you happy picking up individual items?
